Qianchen Volume: Concentrate on Cultivating and Hiding Hatred, Exploring the Rivers and Lakes to Provoke Old Enemies Chapter 29 Wanting to Capture and Indulge
When Nalan walked into the Tancheng wine shop, Xiao Er greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "The guest officer is rare, what do you want to drink, our store has the best drunken red dust, pretty flowers, snow bud mud, as well as sauce duck, sauce beef, fennel broad beans These appetizers, the guest officer is satisfied." After listening to Xiao Er's speech, Nalan found an empty table and sat down, and said to Xiao Er: "Then a jar of drunk red dust and a pound of sauce beef." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Er shouted loudly: "A jar of drunk red dust, a pound of sauce beef." With that, he walked to greet the next guest. After a while, the wine and meat were all on the table, and at this time, not far from the store, an old man who was holding on to the wood was talking in a low voice, and everyone in the wine shop was listening with relish. Nalan was also interested, and turned to listen.
I saw that the old man slapped the awakening wood in his right hand, and suddenly the audience was silent, only to hear the old man say slowly, "In the Hou Zhou, it borders on the Tang Kingdom after me, the people are fierce, and the people are violent and fighting. The general who guarded the border pass in the Tang Dynasty was General Li Weixian, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and I thought that at the beginning, the wolf smoke was everywhere, and General Li personally led the army to lay the foundation of my Later Tang Dynasty. ”
After listening to the old man's words, someone in the audience asked, "I heard that Hou Zhou has infiltrated the next week?" I don't know if this is true or not? Can you tell me, sir? When the man had finished speaking, the rest of the people were also interested, and they began to make a fuss, and the old man had to make it clear. The old man took a slap of the wood when he had something, picked up the teapot with his left hand and took a sip, before he said slowly, "If you want to say that Zhou is meticulous, but it is very cunning." It is said that they have gone deep into our city of Tancheng in the midst of the horses of the merchants, day and night, and have joined the invaders inside and out. ”
Before everyone in the audience could continue to ask, the old man continued: "But I am waiting for a big country, how can these rats be able to touch it?" In addition to General Li's observance, Chi Rongguo has sent an envoy to the alliance, presumably to join forces to annihilate Hou Zhou in one fell swoop. Then you will be able to go outside the fortress and see the wonders of the sunset falling into the river. Everyone applauded.
Nalan listened to the old man's words, frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart, "This envoy of Chi Rong has only entered the country for a short time, but I didn't expect the news to spread, it seems that there are indeed things that can't be hidden from the ears and eyes everywhere." Thinking of this, he poured another glass of wine and tasted it. At this time, a half-grown child in the field said to the old man: "You said that Hou Zhou will commit, let me ask you, why did Hou Zhou come to commit it, and what is the current war situation?" ”
The old man squinted at this little man, cleared his throat and said slowly, "After this, the thieves and wolves of Zhou have ambitions, and they have been stealing the rich land of our Houtang for a long time, and now they are plotting to commit it, what other reasons do you need?" Ignorant children, inconvenient to speak. When the boy heard this, he laughed and said to the old man, "If you don't know, say you don't know, and I'll tell you." This Hou Zhou invaded for a treasure, and this treasure was related to the fortune of the country, so they rushed out, and also lurked in the territory of our Hou Tang, and when the time was ripe, they would join the inside and the outside. ”
The old man blushed a little when he was provoked by the child's words, but he pretended to be calm and said: "You are untrustworthy, you say treasures, then let me ask you, what kind of treasure can make Hou Zhou not able to rely on it?" The kid laughed a few more times, and said loudly: "It was Yan Rujing who was in the rivers and lakes when the Gu Mansion was destroyed that day. Hearing Yan Rujing's three words, everyone present was shocked and began to whisper.
The old man's face was red and white, and he didn't know what to say. Presumably because he didn't know more than a child, he really couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he took a sip of tea and said again. When Nalan heard "Gu Mansion Annihilation" and "Yan Rujing", the corners of his eyes twitched, and he remembered for a moment that the people present that day, whether they were high-ranking officials or reckless people in the rivers and lakes, were all killed, but when the corpses were counted, they really did not see the bitter scars of the Kutuo Sect, presumably they took advantage of the chaos to cheat death, touched Yan Rujing and ran away.
It's just that I tracked it down later, and I didn't think of this old way, so I didn't take it to heart, but I didn't expect to go around and hear the news of Yan Rujing here. It seems that the Bitter Scar Daoist is still in the land of the Later Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't know where he is. Thinking of this, Nalan got up and walked to the child, took out a silver ingot and said to the child, "Where did you hear the news?" Tell me, it's yours. ”
After all, the kid was in a wine shop, and he had seen strong winds and waves, so he took the silver coin, put it in his mouth, and bit it to confirm that it was correct, before he replied to Nalan: "It was a little brother who told me." When Nalan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he continued to ask the child, "Where is he?" The child shuddered suddenly, and the aura emanating from Nalan's body already made him feel uneasy.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said to Nalan: "That little brother found me before you came, gave me a silver ingot, and let me see a man dressed in white, and then go to confront the old man, and at the same time say what he just said." Because I have been listening to the old man for a long time, I already know the content, so I pinch it here to complete the task assigned by the little brother. As for where he is, I really don't know. ”
Nalan's face sank like water after hearing this, and he patted the child lightly, then turned back to the table. Xiao Er walked over at this time and asked, "Do you want to fly ink?" Nalan didn't pay attention, and drank the wine by himself, as if he hadn't heard Xiao Er's question. The little second seemed to see Nalan's generosity just now, so he chased after him and said, "Where do I know that little brother?" ”
Nalan stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Xiao Er and said, "If you dare to deceive me, I will kill you." Xiao Er suddenly froze on the spot, trembling all over his body and said, "Even if you give me the courage to do so, I don't dare to deceive the uncle." I did see the little brother whispering to the kid just now, so I rashly came to talk to the guest officer, wanting to ask for some benefits. ”
Nalan regained his momentum at this time, and said with a smile: "You can talk about it." Then he began to drink again. The little second child was bold, his lips trembled, as if he hadn't recovered from the threat just now. said crampedly: "After the little brother finished speaking, he went to the half-more inn and never came out again." The inn is on this street again, and you can see it when you go ahead. After hearing this, Nalan immediately got up, threw a large ingot of silver on the table, and turned to leave.
Xiao Er grabbed the silver coin, quietly skimmed the shopkeeper, and saw that the shopkeeper was concentrating on calculating the accounts, so he put away the silver money, replaced it with a few other copper coins, and began to greet other guests with a wind under his feet. Nalan walked out of the wine shop and looked up at the sky, at this time it was already three poles, and the bustling flow of people was also increasing. He dodged into the crowd and walked in the direction that Xiao Er said.
After a while, I saw an ordinary inn that could no longer be ordinary suddenly appear in front of me, and I saw that the dilapidated plaque of the inn suddenly had four big characters written in vigorous cursive - half more inn. Nalan smiled slightly, and walked in with his legs raised. Although this inn looks no different from other inns from the outside, the interior of the inn is quite in the style of the Later Zhou Dynasty, with a kind of roughness unique to the desert.
Looking at the people who came, a woman who was half-aged and still charming squirmed, Xu Bu walked over and asked Nalan, "Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?" Nalan looked at the woman in front of him with a smile and said, "If you live in a hotel, you want a clean room." Meals were troublesome to be delivered to the room, thank you. When the woman saw Nalan's face, she smiled and said to Xiao Er: "Come, take this handsome brother to the Tianzi Lu room." After speaking, he handed a wooden card to Nalan and touched it in his hand by the way.
Nalan smiled lightly and agreed, turned around to follow Xiao Er, and seemed unintentional, but in fact, he intentionally avoided the boss's attempt to touch his waist. The proprietress didn't succeed, and she wasn't angry, she just looked at Nalan's back upstairs with a stupid smile, and gave him a flying kiss. Nalan only pretended not to see it. When he entered the door, he quickly closed it, and listened to the movement outside the door. After Xiao Er walked away from the door, he came to the bed and sat down.
This woman's breath is exposed, and she already has a 6th-order production realm, and she has already hidden her breath when she tried it just now, and if she rashly exposes it, it will be worth the loss. In this small town, there are still such masters, it seems that it must not be easy here, so it's better not to miss the business. Just thinking of this, there was a knock on the door, and the proprietress Didi's voice came in, "Childe, the food is ready, and the slave family will bring it in for you." ”
Nalan could only get up and open the door, the proprietress was holding a food box in one hand and a jar of wine in the other, and after Nalan opened the door, she flashed in and walked in. Nalan took the food and wine, thanked him, and sent the proprietress out. This woman is really cheeky, she insists on putting all the dishes on the table herself, and Nalan can only give up. After she got it done, she walked out slowly, and didn't forget to remind her, sometimes call her if needed.
Seeing her reluctant look, Nalan could only smile and agree. When he sat down, Nalan restrained his smile, took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and tried it on each dish. Sure enough, there was no drugging. After trying it, he wiped the silver needle and went to taste the wine again, and there was no problem, which made Nalan suspicious. If the proprietress hadn't poisoned her, then there would be no problem with this inn, but she thought too much?
Thinking of this, he poured a glass of wine, sandwiched the chopsticks dish, and dripped the wine onto the dish. I only heard a stabbing sound, and the place where the dish was dripping suddenly became pitch black, and Nalan put down the wine glass with a smile on his face and muttered to himself: "If there are no little tricks, then it won't be interesting." At this time, Gu Xing was indeed in this inn, and he was thinking about the time to see when Nalan would come to the door.
Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open by a person, and the proprietress turned around and walked in. Gu Xing saw the person who came clearly, so he got up to greet him, and rushed to the person with a fist and said, "There is a right envoy." The innkeeper looked at Gu Xing and said with a smile: "It's okay, the owner of the inn will explain, and I will go all out." It's just that the little white face is really handsome. If you can...... Hahahahaha. ”
Gu Xing was speechless when he heard this, this proprietress was the same messenger as Luo Xiu, but Gu Xing had never been out of the villa since he was sensible, and this was the first time he had seen it. This right envoy is in charge of the intelligence of the rivers and lakes of Lone Whistling Heights, and has been using the inn as a cover, and has been hiding in the shadows all these years. It's just that in recent years, the villa has made frequent moves, which has brought her to the surface. This time, Gu Xing set foot in the rivers and lakes for the first time, and the proprietress was the last to respond.
